St. Patrick's Primary, New Stevenston

This afternoon, as part of Maths Week, the children gathered in their houses for some maths fun.  We played Sumdog and other ICT maths games with Mrs Carroll.  We practised our counting and number recognition whilst playing dominoes, snakes and ladders and other board games with Mrs Neary and Mrs Slavin.  We explored 3D shape, pattern and symmetry using construction materials with Miss Park and Miss Coyle, and finally we had lots of maths fun outside with Mrs McCargo playing hopscotch, skipping and counting as we kicked and bounced balls.  A maths-tastic afternoon was had by all!!

Congratulations to all our September Achievers. We are very proud of you.

Great fun was had by all last night at the Parent Focus Disco. Thank you to the Parent Focus Group for organising and to the many parent helpers who came along on the night.

Today five pupils from P6 were commissioned as Missio Champions at a mass at St Francis Xavier’s Carfin. The children pledged to promote the work of Missio within our school and be a good example to all. We know that those chosen will work hard and will be a credit to our school. Mrs Allan accompanied the pupils and was very proud of them. They enjoyed receiving their special badges and had a photograph taken with Bishop Toal.

As part of Maths Week Scotland the children of St Patrick’s will be looking at maths in the world around them. In school we will be taking part in a maths trail and a fun maths afternoon on Thursday in our houses. We also have a maths drawing competition – look out for the details in school bags this week. The closing date is Friday 4th October for entries and there will be a maths prize for each class. We hope the children have a Maths-Tastic Time!

Things to look out for – the Book Fair will be in the school all week. Children will be given the opportunity to view books and purchase them at various times over the course of the week.
